Termas de Arapey is a renowned thermal resort in Salto Department, northwestern Uruguay, where geothermal waters from the Guaraní Aquifer emerge in the remote and sparsely populated Uruguayan countryside, offering one of South America's most tranquil and nature-immersed thermal experiences amid wide-open grasslands and subtropical forests. The bicarbonate thermal waters here emerge at approximately 45°C — among the hottest in Uruguay — and the resort's development as an upscale estancia-style retreat has made Arapey a destination for those seeking a more exclusive and nature-centered thermal experience than the crowded parks of Daymán. The exceptional isolation of Termas de Arapey in the Uruguayan campo, far from any major city, creates a spa atmosphere of genuine rural tranquility where the sounds of the pampa and subtropical birds accompany mineral water bathing in one of South America's most beautiful natural settings.

Insider tip — Treat yourself to a thermal break at Termas de Arapey, where the bicarbonate water reaches 38°C.
